You need a special tool that is sold at most home centers. You will not get a tight fit without it, the tool is worth it. Cut the insulation back (The tool and connector will have the correct lengths in the instructions), push on the connector, and crimp it.
If your TV has rca input jacks for video games, etc. then all you need is to connect to the output rca connection on the cable box and you are good. Just remember that you won't have to tune the TV to get the channels. You will have to use A/V mode all the time to watch your favorite shows.
There are essentially two ways to get surround sound out of the Xbox. Via HDMI or via optical (TOSLINK) out. If you have the component video cable, then the end that attaches to the Xbox has an optical out port. Simply attach this to the optical in on your home theatre receiver with an optical cable. If you want to use audio via HDMI, in order to get surround sound you'll have to have an HDMI receiver capable of receiving audio. In this case run the Xbox via HDMI to the receiver and then the receiver via HDMI to the TV. The HDMI will send both audio and video. If you have the official Xbox HDMI cable you can also connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV and use the optical out connector that it comes with instead.
In general in new houses, "jacks" will be pre-installed. The engineer will run a cable from the jack to the tv. The television then has to be programmed and auto-tuned to pick up the signals.

I don't understand why you would have Direct TV (sattelite) and cable TV? However, it depends on the input/output combinations of each component. I have my coaxial cable from my sattelite to the sattelite in jack on the sattelite receiver, the out to TV coaxial from the sattelite receiver run to my VCR plugged to antenna in on the VCR and a coaxial cable from the VCR to the TV coaxial antenna in on the TV. That way, you can watch sattelite without turning the VCR on, but the sattelite receiver has to be off to watch VCR or VHS tapes. Then, run video patch cords (red, white and yellow) out of the DVD to the TV (if the TV has those types of inputs on the back) If you want all three components (sattelite, VCR and DVD) to run through surround sound and NOT the TV, run only the yellow video cord from the DVD to the TV. Run the red and white to the surround sound receiver for each component. Your surround receiver should have multiple inputs for sattelite/cable, VCR and DVD.
It is the connector for the OPTICAL cable to plug into.
Yes, the RadioShack Digital Optical Cable Connector is very easy to install. It's just as simple as unplugging and plugging in a standard TV cable.
The S-Video connector and cable will give you a better picture than coax or a RCA type pin video connector and cable will.
Both the source and the TV have to have a HDMI connector. If they don't, use the S-connector. No S- connector? you will have to use the VIDEO connection on the TV.
Nope - Telephones use an RJ-45 connector, while cable TV uses a BNC-style connector. See related links for comparisons.
The "F" connector is the most common type that is used on RG6 cable. This is the universal connector for home use of RG6 with antennas, CATV, satellite, and consumer electronics.
Sometimes this will happen if you are using a coaxial cable on the antenna and there is a broken connector or even a cut in the cable somewhere.
RG-6 coaxial cable. Used for connections to TV, has single copper wire center
First, find the HDMI port on the back of your Xbox, and attach an end of the HDMI cable to it. Next, attach the other end of the cable into the HDMI port on the back of your TV. Now, press the "input" button on you TV remote control and the process is completed.
This can sometimes be caused by a bad cable or connector.
Yes -- the HD link comprises a single cable. One end is a single connector that attaches to the Wii. The other end is three RCA plugs that attach to a component input on the back of your TV.
F connector is a connector used for over the air transmissions.It is used for connecting set-top box on tv,cable transmissions,television transmissions and satellite transmissions.
